HOW TO LOOK COOL WHEN YOU
ARE NOT.
Intelligent care of the body is nec-
essary itt all times and each season
brings its own problems. "How to
look cool when you're not" is the
problem Which nest of tis faceluring
the summer months. Cleanliness of
person is of the greatest importance
and in order to be clean we must
bathe: Bathe M a tub if .you have
one; if riot, a sponge bath will have
to do, but the all-over bath once a
dsiy is very desirable.
A bath not only cleanses the sur-
fed, of the skin, But helps to remove
the dead tinter ekin, opens the pores
and' allows manyliiipurffies to escape.
Becauge of this, I prefer the hot tub
to be takeii at' night When free per-
spiration is allowed to follow. The
daytime bath is usually a hurried af-
fair, followed by the use of talcum
powder in order to check perspira-
tion; this clogs up' the pores and de-
feats one purpose of the bath.
Snongiog the body with lukewarm
water has a ,cooling effect and is very
refreshing on a warm day. Such a
bath can well become a part of the
afternoon toilet and can.be followed
, by a liberal use of talcum powder in
order to cheek the perspiration - which
would be so uncomfortable when
dreseing for the afternoon or evening.
Perspiration which is especially of-
fensive in odor is a trial to whioh no
one need' be subjected. Very .satis-
factory remedies fes- the correction of
such odors -have been placed on the
market, ' Mild eages can be 'relieved
by -rubbing a pinch of bicarbonate of,
soda in the armpit. There is a tal-
emu Powder much Used by nurses -
which corrects body odors, *but for
extreme cases it may be necessary to
use the stronger preparations.
With the present style of dress it is
almost impossible to wear dress
ehields and if the perspiration is
very fres iinder the arms a simple,
preparation which will check the fiow
Is recommended.
Brontidrogis—Perspiration of the
-feet . is roost uncomfortable and is
sited -0 worse if accompanied by 0 bad
odor. This is really a disease known„
as "bromidrosis" and is difficult to
cure. The feet should be bathed
night and meriting th water contain-
ing Salt or alum. •The stockings
should be ohanged daily or even twice
a day, and several .pairs of shoes
should be kept in use in order to al-
low each pair to be thoroughly aired
and dried befote being worn again.
For the treatment of bromidrosis the
following formula, to be dusted th
the shoes night and morning: Sali-
cylic acid,. one dram; boric acid, four
drams; menthol, thirty grains; euca-
lyptol, thirty minims; French chalk,
four ounces.. Rub into a fine powder
In a mortar (this should be done by
a. druggist), One of our readers was
cured of this trouble by using a mix-.
ture consisting of one ounce each of
glycerine and tincture of myrrh. Rub
on the feet night atid morning. '.
Lotion for Tan—The following lo-
tion is, recommended for those who
tan: Rosewater, one pint; pulverized
borax one-half ounce; lemon juice
(strathed),*. one ounce. Hee lotion
freely after being exposed to the sun.
A broad -brimmed hat will afford pro..
Lection against i he sun's rays, a veil
protect e against loth sun and wind.
A good -method is to apple' a good
lotion or eream Mid cover this a.ith
powder. .
Long, motet trips alh ver h hard on

ing the cream to work into the ,ores,
then wipe off with absorbent cotton
and an old Peen towel or handker-
chief, The thee eliould not be washed
entil the neemorning, when' the in-
flammation mired by, the pen and
wind h's. disappeared. The face may
then lie well washed with warm water
anti a' good 'soap, and well rinsed with
eold water. Follow this method after
unueizai exposure.
JAMS AND CONSERVES.
A well stocked preserve cupboard
is.a great comfort at all times and is
especially appreciated "when com-
pany econee." As we all do not use
the same names for these Preserved
producte, I think it would he more
clear to first define' the names as I
am going to use thorn,. '
Prceerveg—This. name is given to
the product enede by cooking together
definite quantities of fruit and sugar
to the -.point where they will keep
without being sealed air -tight. The
aim is to keep, the original shape and
appearance of the fruit as nearly as,
possible. ,
Jaen—The fruit is crushed in the
juice. 'As a rule only the small fruits
of which the whole may be used are
made Into jams,
Butters—These are similar to ajrns
but the ingredients are more thor-
oughly mixed together and, the pro-
duct is more smooth. Spices and
other flavorings are used.
Marrnalados—Theee are midway
between jams and butters. -
Oosieerves--These are marmalade
mixtures with the addition of mite
and raisins.
Practically the same proportien of.
fruit and sugar is used in all the
above products. It is a conmion pract-
ice to use equal quantities of fruit
nd sugar by weight or measure „but
ho proportion of three-fourths meas-
ure of sugar to one measure of fruit
has been found to he more satisfac-
tory. This gives a more delicai,e
flavor and a better conaistericy. This
proportioo of sugar to fruit, when
cooked to the proper concentration is
sufficient to keep the product without
air -tight sealing. Too Much iugste
not only increases the .cost of the
product. but tends to cover up the
flavor of the individual fruits and
reduces all kinds of preserves to the
common syrup flavor.,
Where the aim is to retain the shape
of the trait as in preserves, the fruit
should be cooked from the beginning
in the sugar syrup. This has a tend-
ency to harden the flesh and retain
the shape. When a fruit has a largo
amount of fibre or when it is to be
mashed, the fruit should be cooked
until tend ee before edding the sugar.
This is unnecessary in the case Of
small fruits. ,
One does not need individual recipes
as the combination of fruits and
flavorings is largely a matter of per-
sonal taste, ,
The following steps in the prepara-
tion of preserved products aPpIy to
practically 'ail types:
1. Wash and look over the fresh
fruit. •
2. Weigh or 'measure carefully,
3. Prepare and cut up large fruits.
4, 'Use only enough water to pre-
vent the pulp ,from sticicing to the
bottom of the kettle and burning.
5. Do not fill the kettle, full, leave
room for stirring. Cook gently on a
steady fire,
6. Add sugar, using three-fourths
of a cup of sugar to one cup of fruit
or three-fourths of a pound of sugar
tO one pound of prepared fruit.
7. Add spices -and other flavorings
8. Continue cooking at simmering
point, stir carefully. Cook until the
mass falls in heavy drops from the
spoon, i

jars. .Seal to prevent the absdrption
of moisture. I,abel.
Note,—The pulp left trona Jelbr-
making may be used in any of these
products except preserves.
Grape ponsetve-7 lbs. concord
grapes+, 6 lbs. sugar, 1 lb. walnuts, 1
lth raisins.
Cook the grapes until the seeds are
looge. Put through a colander. If
the skins are used, a dark -colored

can be produced by discarding the
skins..

monds, 1 orange, 1 lemon, SS lb

CHAPTER XXVIII.'
It was years sinee Christopher
Smarie had visited Lucerne—"Lovely
Lucerne," as -the guide -books so truly
deselbe ft. e had gene on 0 Cook's
tour when quite a young man, and
there was a girl in the party who
had rather obscured his first vietii of
Switzerland. He remembered the girl
better than he did. Lucerne. Indeed,
he could not forget or overlook that
girl—woman, as she was now --the
she had since become Mrs. Christoph-
er 3tnar4 andthe rnother Of his num-
erous family. How odd to think that
Iffillie and he had once -been lovers
here.
1
. There had !seen' a" 'storm, but as
Christopher left the station the Sun
came out. Old Pilatus, however, wore
his usual crest of cloud. The place
keened very strange to Christopher
—as though he had never seen it, be-
fore, For one thing, he had forgotten
that there wore so many hotels., Per-
haps a lot.of 'new oneehad-been hoilt
since his time. And,. althotigh .it was
SO' early in 'the season, thee seemed
to be crowds of people abeut. It was
terribly confusing. Supposing that
this ,befooled doctor should have' de-
cided to take his bride to: one of the
snuffler places further up the lake?
It would ..not be easy to find them.
Christopher's eyes—the chilly eyes of
a somewhat cold -heated London soli-
eitor—dwelt indifferently, upon the
masses df pink and white fruit bine
som which bespattered the 'hillaides,
and east no more than a weather -
Curious glance upon the mountains.
Lovely 'Lucerne had but one mean-
ing for him—it was the haven of a
newly wedded couple into whose pert
of bliss he meant to bring storm. But
if he could not find them?
Having run the'. gauntlet of the
'hotel porters, he sallied forth with
his funereal -looking black bag, a tall;
forbidding figure, in striking contrast
to the mild airs and fittalasunshine of
spring. The little lake waves danced
beneath his feet as he crossed the
bridge opposite the station, apd be-
yond the bridge away swirled the
mad green river, in a riotous, entic-
ing fury of sound and movement—
but CheLetopher scarcely noticed any
of it. There were the curious old
wooden bridges --yes, he remembered
them. It hadsrairted a great dealsdur-
ing his former visit, and Millie and
he had spent quite a lot of time on
one of the coyered bridges, following
the painstaking history of the saint
1whose troubled life was set forth so
realistically and so beautifully it long
series of quaint old pictures.
. Yes, and he remembered the famous
Lion of Lucernees-sornewhere at the
back beyond the cathedral -church,
wasn't it? On a Sunday afternoon in
August, Millie and he and the rest
of the party had paid their respects
to the huge lion, carved in the face
of the living reek, and since it was an
anniversary of the tragedy Of .tho
brave Swiss guard who had covered
the escape, of Louis XVL and the ill-
fated Marie Antoinette, a band of
that same regiment had played all the
afternoon in the lair of the old atone
lion. Christopher remembered that
Millie had wept and waved her hand-
kerchief and applauded, just as though
she, too, had some reason to feel senti-
mentally patriotic.
He had been so tonched by the in-
cident that shortly afterwards he
..asked Millie to marry him.
But enough of this sort of thing.
He shook himself free of it and set -
tied to the business of,,finding a cheap
but good hotel, Haff an hour later
he lied established his hag in a hos-
telry which seemed to meet his re-
quirements, and was off again to find
the Ardeynes, beginning with the big
hotels; along the lake front.

Philip and his bride eeached Lu-
cerne very early in the morning.
They drove at once to the Schweizer -
hot, where Ardeeme had engaged
rooms, had breakfast, and then—after
a bath and change—sallied forth to
enjoy the freshness of the sunshine.
Philip was a little more gra.ve, a
little more thoughtfill than circum-
stances would seem to dematd, but
Alice took such a 'keen Interest in
everything that she scarcely noticed
his abstraction. ,She was alive to her
finger-tips and filled with the delicious
intoxication which must possess any-
one who entera the gates tot Switzer-
land for the fleet tirrie. "
"I didn't dream it was" go lovely!"
she said, 'her hands locked together
ler 'the, pain and joy of it. "Ah, why
didn't- somebody tell me!" ,
"Walt until you've seen the real
Alpe," Philip said.
"The real ,said.
But, surly, Philip
—there couldn't be any highee inoun-
tains than these?"
He smiled, fondly, sadly. ,
,
"There are' always higher moun-
tains," he repliedm his Mood heavy

She laughed heartile and shook his

011, it doesn't maStet. Come, my dar-
ling, let's see if we Ban 'find a boat to
take, us somewhere." ,
"Oh, Philip, that woeld be jolly!
One of those little motor -boats?"
, "Yee, Soleiglid idea."
"If they don't -cost too mach," Alice
suppthmented, "I didn't think about
that."
He squeezed her hand.
If only money ceuld zeta° all their
difficulties, how shit* life would be.
He had plenty of money;bub where
was his fund of moral courage? Ebb-
. ing way rather fast—as fast, ethicist,
as this mad little river 'escaped from
the deep bosom of the lake. •
The,y fared forth in the .little 'hired
motor -boat for a long day's cruiSe up
Ilia lake. The beat had a gaily ,strip-
ed awning, and for some unknown
reason Dew- the American flag Sat her
stern. There were rags and cushions.,
a box of chocolates for Alice, and
presently a thundeeptoem hurtling
across the mountains at terrific speed.
There was just time to put into the
shelter' of a thalithig cove.before the
storm broke, The placici lake became
a turbulent, .wind -lashed ocean, dash,

Of course she woeld do as lie fold
her. It was so wonderful to have him
arranging things for her, It was
such a splendid, new itlea having a
husband to order one about.
"Oh, I sho,uld just hate not to be
married!" she murmured to herself
as he caeefully shepherded her oft
the boat. .
It was juet a step across to the
hotel. Ardeyne left her at the door
of the lift and the departed to see
about the thleggains.
Alice went in tip to their suite.
There was a sitting -room, just as
murnsey ,and she had at the Mimosa
Palace, and a private ,bath as weIl.
Also two -bedrooms. But it was a far
grander suite than -at the Nlimosa
Palace, and now, f _course, there
would be no anxiety aboist the cost
of it.
She looked about a little shyly. The
bedroonCia were at opposite ends. Hers
was the target... It had a very wide
balcony generously fringed with boxes
of spring flowers.
She was tired, but almost too ex-
cited to lie down and sleep, The un-
packed trunks worried her. Bat, no
—Philip had told her to take a nap,
and a wife must obey her husbend.
Hadn't she promised only yesterday?
She took og her hat and coat and
was just about to change her dress
for a wrapper when sotneone knocked
at the sitting -room door.
It was one 01 the pageboys, and he
had a tray on which reposed the visit-
ing card of Mr. Christopher Smarle.
The gentleman, he told Alice, was
waiting downstairs. He_would like
to see madame.
Mr. Christopher &mete? -
Alice knew the name well. It was -
that solicitor cousin of theirs who at-
tended to nonnsey's money affairs.
I -tow odd of Mi. Smarle to turn up
here wanting to see her. Row did he
know—?
And then her heart contracted with
a terrible spasm of fear, Taking no
account of the limited time there bad
been, she thought she understood
what had happened. Mumsey was ill,
dying, perhaps dead, and Mr. Chris-
topher Smarle had been telegraphed
to break the news in person,
"Oh send him ITV" she cried.
If only Philip were'here. Would it
have been better to wait until Philip
came back? But no—she couldn't wait.
If anything had happened to mum -
ser -1
"I must be brave," she told herself.
It seemed a long time, but finally
the pageboy reappeared, and now he
had Christopher 'with him,
The sight of the tall, forbidding -
looking man strengthened Alice's pre-
monition of evil, "
She was so filled with apprehension
that she failed to greet him properly.
Itteffect, she dragged him inside with
a lack of:formality which etartmed her

as the true daughter of her scattee-
brained mother.

Christephee deposited his hat and
s.
gloves one chair, and gave her the
full benefit hi his gthomy gaze.
"Very bad indeed, Pre sorry to say,"
he replied.
For- a few seconds it seemed to
Alme that her heart stopped beating
entirely. Her lips -were dry end cold;
her face deiathly white.

what anguish he was causing it did
